    Many good answers here, I'm even upvoting people who are arguing with each other because I can see the benefits and drawbacks of each side.

    Unionize, radicalize unions, get unions in a given geographic area to work together. (Lula's party, imperfect as it is, was born out of Brazilian unions; we all know where the Democrats came from.) Nobody is stupid, actually; stupidity/intelligence is a eugenicist concept. People are guided by their material needs. Large numbers of white Americans aren't burning down the country because they still benefit immensely from imperialism and settler-colonialism.

    I think this means we should adopt strategies for dealing with each. WRT settler-colonialism, the strategy should be to connect with BIPOC both within and without cities. Whites in cities could potentially be comrades, but as for rural whites, they are 99% a waste of time. (I pass as white and live in a very rural area, so I know we aren't a complete waste. But we're almost a complete waste.)

    WRT imperialism, the USA losing the Ukraine War would strike a devastating blow and rapidly intensify contradictions both within and without the imperial core as the world senses its strength and unites against America and Western Europe. I can't go into specifics for obvious reasons, but you can probably guess what I'm advocating here.
